2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FN67 HFM

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 63,949 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every annual examination since 2021. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,100 miles, which sits within typical bounds for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 25,532 miles at the 16 July 2021 test, rising to 36,110 by 30 June 2022, 47,833 on 12 July 2023, 60,731 on 6 August 2024, and 63,949 by the 2025 test. The largest single-year jump was roughly 12,900 miles between summer 2023 and summer 2024, yet no advisories or failures emerged to flag accelerated wear on consumables or drivetrain parts. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of neglected upkeep or prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free record. The MOT regime captures only test-day condition, so suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion may have developed wear unseen by the tester. Given the car's age, structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking for moisture-related deterioration. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the data to suggest worsening trends. The previous owner clearly maintained the vehicle to pass standard each year. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm tyre age, fluid condition, and brake caliper operation during a pre-purchase examination.
